While you were sitting around with your family in a food coma during Christmas, Star Slinger was making this holiday anthem. Sampling one of the most famous lines from Home Alone 2 "Merry Christmas, Ya Filthy Animal & a Happy New Year," Star Slinger drops the line right onto a proper house beat. It's the perfect track to make NYE set jump off. Download: Star Slinger - Ya Filthy Animal
Filed under: News , Video , Holy Hell , New Music Getty | Getty In what has become a sort of festive tradition, U2 's Bono took to Dublin's Grafton Street on Christmas Eve alongside a host of other musicians to sing some Yuletide (and not so Yuletide) favorites before surprised fans and onlookers. As reported on fan site atu2.com -- and through a string of YouTube clips documenting the [...]
After all the gifts are given and food's consumed, nobody really cares about Christmas. We move on and start making plans for New Year's, resolutions and figuring out how to [...] The post (Not-So) Christmas Music From Syd The Kid, Torae & Two-9 appeared first on The Smoking Section .
photos by Amanda Hatfield Sufjan Stevens brought his The Surfjohn Stevens Christmas Sing-A-Long Seasonal Affective Disorder Yuletide Disaster Pageant On Ice tour with comedian " Sheila Saputo " (aka singer-songwriter Rosie Thomas) to NYC last week for shows at Bowery Ballroom on Friday (12/21) and Saturday (12/22), the final two nights of the tour.

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Thank you all so much for following my Christmas Calendar of 2012. I hope you have found it fun and inspiring and that you've tried Glögg, Swedish Meatballs and played a lot of great Christmas music all through December. So this is the last window and Christmas day, so it's time for one last gift from me to you. Today, only, you can download my new album The Owls Are Not What They Seem for free, nada, ziltch. I hope it will spin well into 2013! Merry Christmas and a [...]
If there's a chance that your going hard in the paint today then this song is perfect. RL Grime drops this trap remix of Kanye's "Mercy," and title's it "Have a Very Mercy Xmas," mixing in a famous Christmas jingle. It's a holiday trap banger, but you may not want to throw this one in front of the family. Download: RL Grime - Have A Very Mercy Xmas

For background information on the songs, browse back through the previous posts. (Did I remember to do Hanukkah this year? Yes, I did and those songs are here .

The accidental theme of this year's Christmas music blogging was the topic of Christmas music itself. Normally, I would listen primarily to my ow holiday music, which isolates me from the typical Christmas music listening experience. But this year, thanks to XM and the PA system at my new job, I've been listening to the sort of stuff that the general population listen to, which means a lot of Johnny Mathis and Andy Williams and Celine Dion and suchlike. So, I've tried to offer something different, primarily focused on artists and songs you're not likely to [...]
By Daniel Margolis If you hate Christmas music, we understand why. Every year around Thanksgiving (and the starting point keeps getting earlier and earlier), the same 100 or so songs take over every store, school, coffee shop, lobby, waiting room, and everywhere else people congregate. It’s inescapable – to where the idea of voluntarily listening to Christmas music seems insane to some. But there is cool Christmas music; it’s just off the beaten path or subversive enough that it hasn’t taken hold in popular culture at large. So here we present Christmas music worth seeking out rather than [...]

Ho Ho, Oh. Audio Antihero Records: Specialists in Commercial Suicide have put together this charity single (all proceeds to Shelter ) and just in time for Christmas! It's a miserable Lo-Festive collaboration from Benjamin Shaw and Fighting Kites , two staples of the AAH roster. GFP has covered the individual merits of both of Benjamin Shaw's beguiling fuzz-folk and Fighting Kites ' gorgeously grooved Post-Rock-Noise-Pop before and this charity single shows them meshing beautifully for one heck of a good cause. This Pay-What-You-Want [...]
I don't know if I could do anything else this week other than provide you with a Christmas playlist. So here it is.
Every year I wonder how I'm going to manage doing a) a post every day b) find enough holiday music that I actually want to tell you guys about. And now with the third year of Musical Advent drawing close to a finish I have to say that I'm almost sad that we're getting close [...]

Here's a repost of my Christmas mix from 2009. One of these years I'd like to create a new mix for the season rather than reposting this one over and over. Until then, this one still seems to get the job done. "Miriam" (מרים) is Hebrew for "Mary." Download (ZIP) 1) The Harvesters • "Virgin Mary" • 1961 2) Shirley Collins • " The Cherry Tree Carol " • 1959 3) Alan Mills • "The Angel Gabriel" • 1957 4) Rakhel Hadass [...]
Seasonal songs with the beats to compete.
I can think of no better modern Christmas song, and no better song to close a Christmas playlist. This song has closed- and will close- every single one of my Christmas radio broadcasts, so I thought it fitting that this be the final "song of the day" for this semester, this holiday season, and this year. "Happy Xmas," -in addition to celebrating the holiday season- allows us to reflect on the events of our own year, and to look forward to making a better year to come. In this season, let us take John's message of peace to heart, and [...]
Can't get enough of the Christmas music and yuletide cheer? Well here is something to keep that Christmas spirit alive. The dulcet duo, She and Him, have released a video of the Christmas Classic "Baby It's Cold Outside," that is off their Christmas album, A Very She and Him Christmas. The charming music video features caricatures of Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward in a quaint cabin out in the blistering cold. The music video takes a humorous turn as an obsessive Deschanel does everything in her power to prevent M. Ward from [...]
